Blueberry Recipe

This recipe was created by chef and culinary educator Emily Ellyn, is best known as the Retro Rad Chef from Food Network. She encourages everyone to dig through their mother’s recipe box, dust off their pressure cookers, and take the old and make it new. Emily takes the retro, remixes it, and makes it RAD! You’ve seen her with her trademark cat-eyed glasses on “Food Network Star,” “Cupcake Wars,” and most recently as the winner of “Cutthroat Kitchen.” Now Emily is here making special recipes for the Epicurean Hotel’s Culinary kitchen classes with Wish Farms berries!
